> Resumos de Fate Chooses You
Driven by a mix of spite and frustration, Xin Mei takes the stage at Tianxiang Restaurant, wearing a mask and performing a dance that leaves the audience spellbound. The establishment’s owner quickly realizes that the performer is not the real Yaoniang and sends her staff to find the missing dancer. Among the patrons, a slightly intoxicated Lin Muhan is so captivated that he offers five thousand taels to have the dancer join him for drinks.
Jealousy flares in Lu Qianqiao, who uses his magic to shower the stage in flower petals and spends a fortune to ensure Xin Mei spends the evening with him instead. Later, in a moment of quiet honesty, Xin Mei confronts Lu Qianqiao about his identity as a War Demon, questioning if any of his kind can truly be good. Lu Qianqiao explains that he was raised among the Human Race and has never participated in the wars of the past.
He admits to having killed, but only villains, and notes that he even served as a minor official in the human army. He assures her that he has never killed an innocent soul and acts with a clear conscience. Xin Mei remains deeply conflicted, torn between his identity as a traditional enemy of her people and the fact that he has saved her life on numerous occasions.
As Lu Qianqiao’s physical condition weakens, his companion Chu Ying also finds his strength fading. Chu Ying prepares to enter a period of secluded meditation to recover, warning Lu Qianqiao to avoid conflict and retreat from danger whenever possible. Based on information from Sha Sanxing, Lu Qianqiao identifies three potential locations to the west of Phoenix City: Wushuang City, Baibu Slope, and Qianyan Cave.
He intends to track down a formidable young cultivator at the Void Stage and eliminate him before he undergoes a "blood exchange" process, which will temporarily reduce his cultivation level to the Foundation Building stage. Despite the risks, Xin Mei insists on accompanying him, feeling responsible for the trouble that has unfolded. Meanwhile, the Wushuang Society is in turmoil.
Tang You is furious after discovering that the rabbit spirit, An, sold a precious painting by the master Wu Buquan to pay for a fellow member’s medical treatment. The artwork, "Pair of Wild Geese," was their intended "key" to enter the Sihe Library in Phoenix City. The society’s mission is to copy the "Unparalleled Secret Magic," a massive collection of human craftsmanship and knowledge that has been suppressed by immortal sects for centuries.
The library only opens for ten days every five years, and without the painting to trade for entry, their quest to bring this wisdom back to the Central Plains is in jeopardy. Lu Qianqiao and Xin Mei eventually encounter the members of the Wushuang Society. Upon learning of their predicament, Lu Qianqiao claims to possess several of Wu Buquan’s works and promises to deliver them the next day.
He takes Xin Mei to buy painting supplies, and she initially suspects him of planning to create forgeries. However, as Lu Qianqiao begins to paint with incredible skill and discusses how his artistic style evolved from sharp strokes used in the Imperial Palace to softer techniques adopted later, Xin Mei realizes the truth: "Wu Buquan" was simply one of Lu Qianqiao’s many past identities.
He creates three masterpieces for the society: "Luoxi Landscape," "White Cranes Flying South," and "Sunset on an Autumn Sandbank." In another location, Jin Lun has successfully rescued Sheng and is tending to her in a cave. When she wakes, he offers to treat the wound on her shoulder. Despite his efforts to maintain a professional distance, the physical proximity of the healing process causes Jin Lun’s heart to waver.
To stay true to his path, he recites the Infinite Heart Purification Spell to suppress his rising emotions. As they prepare to move on at dawn, Sheng realizes they are at Qianyan Cave, a place that seems to trigger a deep, unspoken fear within her. The next morning, Lu Qianqiao delivers the paintings to the Wushuang Society.
While some members are skeptical of the "Sunset on an Autumn Sandbank"—noting that the master was known for using only thick ink and never colors—they are eventually convinced by the extraordinary quality of the work. Lu Qianqiao refuses any payment, gifting the paintings to the society to ensure they can preserve the heritage of the Human Race. Touched by his generosity, the members of the Wushuang Society insist on treating Lu Qianqiao to a meal as a gesture of gratitude.
